Skating at the highest level is all about pushing boundaries. Look at the Nyjah Hustons, Ryan Shecklers and P-Rods of this world – it’s insane what some of them can do.
But while the kind of technical wizardry they produce is hugely impressive, often the stuff that really makes you go “WTF?!?” is simpler, as these videos prove. How do these guys think of this stuff, let alone do it?
Shane O’Neill is just taking the piss here… how does he do that?
This kid must have the reactions of a cat.
This whole video is awesome, but it’s the final trick, where Dane Burman lands 50-50 on the pool steps, that really makes your mouth hang open. He looks like he could’ve landed it too!
If you thought dropping into a swimming pool was ballsy, how about this? At least twice the size and on to solid concrete. Aaron ‘Jaws’ Homoki is officially insane…
This hippy jump would be impressive enough anyway, but it’s the way his skateboard kicks up off the edge of the step to just the perfect height… as if a ghost had ollied it.
Rodney Mullen made a career out of inventing combos that defied the laws of physics. After a couple of quiet years he returned to the limelight with this post on Tony Hawk’s Instagram. How do you explain this unless it’s using the force?
Daewon Song shows why he’s the master with this mind-melting mini-ramp combo.
A darkslide is hard enough on a normal rail, let alone a triple kink! Skip to 1.11 to watch it – it’s one hell of a tribute to Mr Song…
This awesome video part is full of crazy stuff. This one’s our favourite…
We don’t even know what to call this. Mental. Just mental.
